Lab. She had teeth of razor blades and would make everyone that played with her bleed. We kept TONS of toys and bones. Rawhides worked well when she was younger, but quickly went through them and I was concerned about her swallowing large amounts. We found the "ham bones" at Walgreens were the best "baby sitters" and still use those to this day. However, the best thing we had was BITTER SPRAY! it is completely safe for the dog, and people.(the lady at the pet store tasted it in front of us to prove it is safe for any area of use!) Spray it on anything you dont want them to put their mouth on. (including your hands) Anytime she would go for something I would spray it on my fingers and but swipe it on her mouth. We now have a a year and half old Lab and didn't lose any furniture, decking, or rugs in the process. :) Bitter spray was amazing. I have a year and half old Choc. Lab.

Puppies will chew and nip at everything when they're very young, and when they start teething it gets worse. Provide him with lots of chew toys and chew bones. When he tries to bite you, let out a loud 'OUCH!' and push him away. When puppies are with their siblings, if one bites another too hard, the bitten pup will yelp, and the pup that did the biting will learn that biting or biting too hard is a no-no. You're doing essentially the same thing. After you push him away, offer him one of his toys that are okay to chew on. Good luck! He’s a baby; he’s teething.
